Married to 39, patriarch of world’s ‘largest family’ dies in Mizoram

拥有39位妻子，世界上“最大家庭”的家长在米佐拉姆邦去世

AIZAWL: Ziona, known as the patriarch of the “world’s largest family”, died at a hospital near Aizawl on Sunday. He was 76 and is survived by 39 wives and about 200 children and grandchildren who live in ‘Chhuan Thar Run’ or Abode of the New Generation at Chhuan Thar Tlangnuam village in central Mizoram’s Serchhip district.

世界上最大家庭的家长锡安纳，周日在一家医院去世，享年76岁，留下39位妻子和大约200个子女及孙辈，他们住在米佐拉姆邦中部serchchhip地区的Chhuan Thar Tlangnuam，他们的家命名为“新一代的家”

Sources said Ziona, who was the leader of the ‘Chana sect’, was brought to the hospital around 3 pm on Sunday but doctors on duty failed to revive him. He had severe case of hypertension and was a diabetic. Ziona, popularly known as ‘hotupa’ (leader) by members of the sect, was born on July 21, 1944. He married his first wife, Zathiangi, in 1959 when he was 15 and his second wife in 1968 when he was 24. His last marriage was in 2004 to a 25-year-old.

消息人士称，锡安纳是“查纳派”的领袖，周日下午3点左右被送往医院，但值班医生未能救活他。他患有严重的高血压和糖尿病。锡安纳通常被该教派成员称为“hotupa”(领袖)，出生于1944年7月21日。1959年，他15岁时娶了第一任妻子Zathiangi, 1968年，他24岁时娶了第二位妻子。他上一次结婚是在2004年，这位妻子结婚时是25岁。

In spite of many of his daughters having left his place after their marriages, Ziona’s four-storey home with its dorm-like rooms has 162 people living in it. Mizoram CM Zoramthanga condoled Ziona’s passing away. “With heavy heart, #Mizoram bids farewell to Mr Zion-a (76), believed to head the world’s largest family. Mizoram and his village at Baktawng Tlangnuam has become a major tourist attraction in the state because of the family. Rest in Peace Sir!” Zoramthanga tweeted.

尽管他的许多女儿婚后都离开了家，但锡安纳的四层楼房子里住着162人，房间像宿舍一样。米佐拉姆邦首席部长Zoramthanga对锡安纳的去世表示哀悼。Zoramthanga发推文说：“带着沉重的心情，米佐拉姆邦向世界上最大家庭的家长76岁的锡安纳先生告别。因为这个家庭，米佐拉姆邦和他所在baktaong Tlangnuam的村庄已经成为该邦的主要旅游景点。愿您安息，先生!”

Ziona was anointed by his father Chana, leader of the religious sect ‘Chana Pawl’, to lead his people even before he was born. The sect was founded by Khuangtuahthanga and used to be popularly known as ‘Khuangtuaha Pawl’ before it became ‘Chana Pawl’ after the death of the founder as his younger brother took over.

锡安纳的父亲是“查纳派”的领袖，在他出生之前就被父亲钦点为接班人。该教派是由Khuangtuahthanga创立的，过去被普遍称为“Khuangtuaha Pawl”，在其创始人去世后成为“Chana Pawl”，他的弟弟接管了该教派。

Khuangtuahthanga drew the ire of the Hmawngkawn village headman and the British government for his unique take on the Bible, resulting in his eviction from the village. Ziona’s son Nunparliana (60) has two wives and 13 children.

Khuangtuahthanga因其对《圣经》的独特看法而激怒了Hmawngkawn村的村长和英国政府，导致他被赶出村庄。锡安纳的儿子nunparliamentary(60岁)有两个妻子，13个孩子。

What about one man one wife law. Is Mizoram not in india? Further instead of glorifying this any responsible newspaper would have raised valid questions and condemned the act.

法律规定"一夫一妻"，米佐拉姆邦不属于印度吗?

此外，任何负责任的报纸都会谴责这种做法，而不是美化。
